They are looking to turn this into a fight...

the are free to counter-demonstrate but are not free t intimidate....which is the goal here. They are cruising for an altercation.

I have several friends who are going to this demonstration with salt shakers full of KNO3

I’d like to see an audit. Union leaders can get paid for working on Union Business while on the clock....especially government unions. So I would love to see if anyone is getting paid a government salary to attend rallies like this.

Somebody needs to post the picture of the roofing nails with the square base. Scatter a few thousand of those on the roads and shut down access.
Civil disobedience is a two way (full of flats) street!

Of course it is legal until the supreme court decides it isn’t.

Make up some giant placards with an arrow pointing to the left or right, then stand next to the obamaBot. Signs can include “Obama paid me to be here”, “I voted Democrat and all I got was a lousy bus trip”, “I’m not from around here.”, etc., etc.,

Let them [SEIU] come.

Maybe the MSM will be forced to cover this one!

‘It’ is about to hit the fan here in upstate NY.

It is part of gunpowder and it is what the search dogs are trained to sniff-out. Make the search dogs go crazy.

BTW, they are running everyone through a metal detector before they enter the plaza. there will be dogs, and they will be going nuts with the trails of potassium nitrate leading everywhere.

Security will be super tight, except near the SEIU goons.

I think you two are missing the danger here. These are not government-paid workers, but this is deep pockets being used to influence legislators, something the founders sought to avoid. For their trouble, they get access to administration officials.

See Even the NY Times thinks this is out of bounds

Oh I certainly see the danger. But thanks for the article. If this ‘social action group’ shares information with future democrat campaigns, that would be illegal....at least for a Republican candidate it would be.

I also still believe that many of the astro-turfers at these rallies will be government employees. And, I believe they will be union leaders, who will fill out their time cards as ‘official union business’, and literally get paid to be there...and they may get paid again by these wealthy donors.

BTW, why do I have a feeling that one of the $500k donors will be Bloomberg?

Perhaps, bit I doubt it is illegal.

And like it or not, the spending of money on a political cause is in fact a form of First Amendment expression.

Their goal is to influence elections through issue advocacy. They are vulnerable on this gun-rights fight, because Democrats in pro-gun states are vulnerable. I don’t think they knew what they were dealing with, but they’ve got some emotional advantage, with all the sissies who can’t even look at a gun without trembling.

They want to win back the House in 2014. The Tea Party and the gun owners are a threat to this.

Whether it’s legal or not, we shall see. There certainly hasn’t been this propaganda push by our national administration ever before. If it were grassroots it would be fine, but it is being orchestrated by the president.
